My ethnic Identity
Half-blood people are a mixture of natives, creoles, and colonizers. They are the strongest
ethnic group in Ecuador and Latin America. I’m proud of being half-blood and to have the
opportunity to talk about aspects such as: food, celebrations, and lifestyle.
Half-blood’s diet is based on basic products. [Rise and bread are some of the most popular.]
Also, [half-blood people use to eat meat, chicken, and pork which are accompanied with salad.]
[Fruit juices are the best option for lunch, milk is preferred after dinner, and alcohol is just for special
events.]
Celebrations are an important part of half-blood’s culture. [A big part of half-blood people are
Catholics.] So, [they use to celebrate Christmas doing mangers and Holly week eating “fanesca”.]
Moreover, [Death’s day, which is other holyday celebrated by half-blood people, has as typical food
“colada morada” and “guaguas de pan”.] Furthermore, [carnivals are popular between half-blood
too.] [Colorful clothes, parades, and happiness are carnivals’ characteristics that half-blood people
enjoy a lot.]
